RFQ Exhibit 4 Summary

This is a Community Business Enterprise (CBE) Information form submitted as part of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors, Chief Sustainability Office. The RFQ seeks qualified CAPSMA contractors to provide policy and research services supporting the 2025 OurCounty Plan initiatives. Exhibit 4 is an Excel document that collects critical information regarding vendors' community business enterprise certifications and status. Vendors responding to this solicitation must submit responses to both the concurrent RFQ and Request for Services (RFS) to be considered for a Consulting and Professional Services Master Agreement (CAPSMA). The submission requires completion of multiple exhibits including the vendor's organization questionnaire, certifications of compliance, debarment history, CBE information, references, financial disclosures, and insurance documentation. No specific response deadline, site visits, bidder conferences, or award dates are detailed within the CBE information form itself.

The CBE information exhibit serves as documentation of a vendor's minority, women, and disadvantaged business enterprise status, which may influence evaluation and award considerations. As a master agreement solicitation, the CAPSMA will establish a framework for as-needed work orders rather than a single defined project scope, contract term, or fixed pricing structure. The specific pricing terms, set-asides, and funding amounts are determined through individual work orders issued under the master agreement following vendor qualification. Vendors must demonstrate organizational capability, financial stability, compliance with county requirements, and appropriate insurance coverage to qualify for the master agreement and be eligible for future task order opportunities under this arrangement.
